The triplets SIZZLE!

I use to love this ride at the NC State Fair growing up. This, of course, is a scaled down version of the ride I loved. I have seen it called the Sizzler or the Scrambler. Either way, this ride is great and the kids loved it too. William rode with an older kid this time but enjoyed it just as much. Funny thing about William on these rides. ALL of the pictures of him show him with a serious look on his face. He would wait until the ride stopped then yell YEAH! and clap his hands. I guess he does not like to make premature judgements:)

Addison: "This is Great, poor on the speed!

William: "This kid next to me sure is big. At this speed I think we are pulling about .25 G's. Taking in to consideration that he probably weighs about 50 pounds, he is exerting about 12.5 lbs of force on the exterior of this car. Good thing I am on the interior of this ride or he may have caused some minor ecchymosis (bruising). Also, why are they using a bungee cord on this ride to secure the bar and a chain on others? I am curious about their reasoning behind that decision.

Jackson: "This ride is my favorite ride of the night! Not to mention it is already 30 minutes past my bedtime. Everything is better when you miss curfew"

An appropriate quote: "Fair" is something that comes to town once a year.

Why I stay at home with three year old Triplets....

#1 We always said we did not want to have a child (who knew we would have three) just to let someone else raise them. Here are some other reasons that I no longer work "outside the house."

I don't want someone else putting their morals and values on our kids.

They may not do as I ask but... Just try putting an employee in the corner for time out

I am now virtually guaranteed a nap most days.

The Triplets may cry, hit and bite but... You can't make most employees happy by turning on Sesame StreetI know this sounds SWEET but keep in mind....

There are NO days offYou get NO sick daysYou work weekends12+ hour daysYou cannot fire a child, you can an employee:)

My background

I worked in Corporate America for 14 years then everything changed with the birth of triplets in 2006; Jackson, Addison, and William. After having a GREAT Nanny while living in TX I decided to stay at home with the kids after my wife received a promotion to Birmingham, Alabama. I have not regretted the decision one day.
